About Dr. Jay Moon and His Mission Experience
In July, Dr. Jay Moon joined the faculty at North American Baptist Seminary as Assistant Professor of Intercultural Studies.

Joining our team with extensive knowledge and experience in the mission field, intercultural studies, and church planting, Jay and his wife are experienced missionaries, having served in Ghana, West Africa, through the interdenominational Serving in Mission (SIM) mission agency. Jay�s background in civil engineering allowed him to provide technical expertise in the area of water development in addition to the church planting work in which both he and Pam were engaged.

Many of us can not imagine living without electricity or a phone. But Jay Moon, Pam, and their four kids did just this for nine years. From 1992-2001, Jay Moon and his family lived among the Builsa Tribe in Ghana, West Africa. There, Moon used his vocational passion as a licensed civil engineer to grow the Kingdom of God as he and his family worked in the area of church planting and water development.

The Builsa Tribe of Ghana lives in a remote area�far from the life to which most Americans are accustomed. Not only did the Moons adjust to a very different lifestyle, they also had to learn a unique tribal language to communicate with the tribe members. The language of Buli, spoken in three tones and five noun classes, is nothing like the English language and is spoken by nearly 100,000 indigenous people.
